Prose and Haiku, the East Coast to Paris….Modern extensions of the traditional Japanese literary forms of haiku, tanka, and haibun.

Twenty-four established and emerging writers from the Rappahannock region share their vision through stories and poems of nature, love, life and spirit, plus quirky takes on the world around us.

Philosophical Fragments: A Personal Journeyincludes reflections upon everything from history, love, the divine, mysticism, science, youth and age, memory, leisure, music, and humor to epigrams and education. These are, in part, the product of teaching for many years both world religions and world philosophies and cover such topics as: Love: “Love is continually setting another free to become who they are—without or with our presence.” Time and Eternity: “Instead of focusing on your shrinking future, focus on the possibilities of your now.” Aphorisms: “Rooted in self-examination and contemplation, action can be a path to true peace.” Epigrams: “Creditors, like the vanquished, have long memories.” Reason: “There are few things more sacred than the life of reason.” Philosophy: “Philosophy can sometimes be best revealed as poetry.”
